In two air standard cycles - one operating on the Otto and the other on the Brayton cycle - air is entropically compressed from 300 to 450 K, heat is added to raise the temperature to 600 K in the Otto cycle and to 550 K in the Brayton cycle. If W_oand W_B are work outputs per unit mass, then

Answer 1

It is not possible to calculate the work outputs unless the temperature after the expansion is given.
